Mesa 24.2.2 Enables Intel Lunar Lake & Battlemage Xe2 Graphics Out-Of-The-Box
Following the recently covered patches on Phoronix that enabled Intel Xe2 graphics out-of-the-box / by-default for Lunar Lake and Battlemage with the Mesa 24.3-devel Git code, Mesa 24.2.2 is out today in stable form that back-ports these Xe2 support changes.
This user-space Mesa code though is also contingent upon running Linux 6.12+ for the necessary kernel graphics driver support. Linux 6.12's merge window is opening in the next week or two while its stable release will be out in November -- a bit unfortunate for those planning to pickup a Core Ultra 200V Series laptop around 24 September. As mentioned in other articles, I'm working to pre-order a laptop to be able to deliver Lunar Lake CPU and GPU support and performance benchmark results under Linux around the 24 September launch date.
